So the Supreme Court decided today that it's ok to ID people trying to vote in the presidential election, and apparently my PTA decided to go along. Yep, I was carded tonight trying to get into my 1st Graders annual Spring Melody Presentation. Because it was a thinly veiled guise to get enough parents in the building to hold the PTA elections.
And they asked for ID, since they would be voting. Seriously--have PTA elections become so hotly contested that they fear there might be impostors among us? Do I really look like someone who would crash a 1st grade sing-along just so I could throw the PTA presidential election?
I told them, no, I would not produce an ID because I would not be voting. Then I proceeded to play my daughter's DS throughout the PTA election process. (Yes, very mature of me.) I have become quite cranky and apathetic in the last few years. Before going to school and getting a job, I likely would have been vying for that presidential position--now I just don't care.
Maybe I should but the PTA thing just isn't where I choose to be involved. And it irritates me that every time my kids have some kind of program, I am forced to sit through a 20 minute business meeting. (Yes, I'm familiar with Robert's Rules, but still...)
